US Reaches One Million Electric Car Sales

Sale of the one millionth electric vehicle in the U.S. is likely to occur this month, according to an estimate by the group Securing America’s Future Energy (SAFE) that’s based on data compiled by Inside EVs.

It’s a symbolic threshold that signals growing adoption of the technology, even though it remains a small part of the overall U.S. market.

SAFE said automakers sold more than 110,000 EVs in the third quarter of 2018, a remarkable 108% rise from the same 3-month stretch in 2017.
